Does anyone know of a socket library for c++ that will work on MacOSX, Linux, and Windows?

QtNetwork Module, with the version 4.5 and the LGPL license I switched from all the small libraries I was using to Qt and I'm pleased until now.

But Qt is huge because it is a windowing toolkit also. I'd like something that just does sockets.

We support both Windows and Linux. I know of one person who has successfully used our software on Mac OSX and we may add support for that platform in the future.

I've been playing around with boost ASIO recently. Still getting my head around the concepts but it seems pretty good. The documentation says it uses the most efficient IO technique available on your platform, so that's a nice feature.
